Work in progress

by James Bradley on October 26, 2009

The other day I mentioned a couple of events I was speaking at, one at Gertrude and Alice Bookshop in Bondi, the other at the National Library of Australia. At the time it slipped my mind that I’m also reading as part of the UTS Centre for New Writing’s Work in Progress event, next Wednesday 4 November at 6:00pm.

It’s should be a fun evening, not least because it’s deliberately designed as a showcase for unpublished work by established writers, and will feature Frank Moorhouse reading from his new novel, as well as readings by John Dale, Delia Falconer, Anthony Macris, Mandy Sayer, Gabrielle Carey, Martin Harrison, and others. In keeping with the spirit of the event I’m planning to give my new novel, Black Friday (which I was talking about here a week or two ago) its first airing.
